Add custom resource types
Why would I add custom resources?
One of the primary ways of organizing data in data.world is by resource types such as tables, datasets, and projects. If there is a specific type of resource not included with data.world that you would like to use, then you can create a custom resource type.
Planning your custom resources
Plan the list of custom resources you need for your organization.
Define the type of custom resources.
Specify the custom resources users can create from the UI.
Add a custom resource
On the Organization profile page, go to the Overview tab or Resources tab. Click the New resource button and select Other resources.
In the Add new resource window, set the following and click Continue.
In the Title field, provide a name of the relationship you want to add. For example, let us add a type called Bank account.
From the Choose type section, select the Type option.
From the Choose one or more collections dropdown, select the Metadata profile collection.
In the Edit resource window, set the following properties and click the Save button.
